Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 86 Injury

"Why didn't you tell me first?"

Feeling that her face was moist, Melinda took a piece of paper towel to wipe her face. After calming

down, she slowly asked in a husky voice.

Hearing this, Jonas was nervous. He seemed to have done something wrong.

"Mellie, are you crying?"

Jonas asked in a soft voice. He had been full of uncertainty when the loud announcement on the airport

broadcast reminded him to board. But thinking of the news he had read, he made up his mind.

"No. You suddenly came back because of your pending work at the office, right?"

Taking a sip of water, Melinda tried to raise her spirits. She calmed herself down and began to ponder if

it was because of something urgent in the company that Jonas had to return home early.

The two of them had been busy traveling for half a month. Melinda could convince herself right now

with such justification, but she still had some apprehensions in her heart. Even so, Jonas could always

check up on her and then they could fly back home together.

He knew well that she couldn't comprehend or speak the local language in this foreign country. She

would be panicky without him around.

"Emily was injured during the shooting."

After a long pause, Jonas finally admitted the real reason to her. This unexpected news made

Melinda's heart sink.

She suddenly shivered and thought how chilly it was that evening in Japan.

The broadcast reminded him the second time around to embark on the plane. Jonas knew that he

couldn't delay it anymore. "Mellie, I have to go back to check for myself. It's time for me to board. Have

fun in Japan. I've already arranged a tour guide for you."

Since their trip wasn't over yet, Jonas felt a little guilty about returning home in advance. He had

thought of taking her back with him. However, it was already late at night. He desired Melinda to have a

good time, so he hired a tour guide to accompany Melinda wherever she wished to go.

As she listened to Jonas in silence, Melinda's heart grew colder and colder. Without saying any word,

Melinda hung up the phone.

Should she be relieved that she could stay behind and enjoy the sights with a local guide? When Jonas

was worried about Emily, he didn't forget to arrange the itinerary for her. Perhaps he was concerned

that Melinda might go back and sabotage their relationship.

Melinda sat on the floor, and her hands dangled feebly. Her mobile phone fell on the floor and made a

crisp sound.

The more she thought about it, the more pain she felt. Suddenly, she remembered that Jonas

mentioned Emily sustaining an injury during the shooting. Hence, she picked up her mobile phone to

check domestic news.

There were already several press released about Emily's injury on Weibo. She quickly browsed it and

roughly figured out the incident.

She learned from the news online that Emily was seriously hurt, so Jonas must be distraught.

With a mocking smile, Melinda wondered whether she was laughing at herself or at her relationship

with Jonas.

Over the past two weeks, she had forgotten all of her sorrows and sufferings. She followed her own

sincere heart, hoping to get along well with Jonas because when he said he liked her, his eyes were

sincere.

He also deleted Emily's contact information in front of her and his grandpa. He brought her with him to

make her watch the break-up scene between them.

At the thought of this, Melinda felt like a fool. If Jonas liked Emily, what was the use in deleting her

contact information or severing ties with her?

Jonas could also find out news updates of Emily from many places.

"Melinda, you are so stupid,"

Melinda said in a faint voice, her arms wrapped around her shins, and her chin resting on her knees.

She couldn't help but shed tears, and the recent events flashed through her mind like a passing

breeze. Finally, their act stopped when the two signed the agreement.

From now on, it was not about relationships but benefits.

Her heart couldn't stand such disgrace anymore.

Nelson had believed in their love. She just needed to wait until Jonas inherited the family property.

Then she would file for a divorce.

Residing in her hometown and living with her grandparents might prove beneficial to her and her writing

career. Anyway, she didn't want to have anything to do with Jonas after that.

As Melinda considered this, she leaned her head against the wall and fell asleep. The screen of her

phone was still on, and Emily's injury was on display.

Jonas boarded the plane, but he was a little flustered. He recalled the story regarding Emily's accident

and crash from the harness while shooting.

They had announced something terrible had happened but had no updates about it.

In China, Emily was quite satisfied that the news of her mishap had spread worldwide. She believed

that Jonas wouldn't be so heartless, and that he would show some compassion when he saw this NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

news.

In fact, Jonas had received a call from William before he learned the situation of Emily's injury on the

Internet.

"Many reporters outside asked about your injury, and your fans are concerned about you. Are you

really not going to send a message to inform them of your safety?"

Emily's injury had been dealt with. Now she was lying on the bed with a bunch of flowers by her side,

which made the quiet ward more alive.

Her agent stood in front of Emily and looked at Emily with displeasure.

Emily had made many decisions and had made a lot of news about herself before informing her, which

made her very unhappy. But she didn't want to force Emily to do anything, because Emily had Jonas as

her backer.

Fortunately, Emily was not that bad. Not long ago, she had received a lot of projects because of Jonas.

She didn't anticipate that Emily would get into trouble so soon.

"I'm still in a coma. How can I tell my followers that I'm safe?"

Emily asked with a smirk. She looked a little pale and haggard, but her scheme was obvious.

The agent thought that such a cruel and calculating person would really fit in the entertainment circle.

"Do whatever you want with your life. Don't cause any more inconvenience. Nobody has the time to

clean up your mess every single time."

She didn't handle many artists, but those under her management were all big names. Now she had the

most popular rising star in the business. Hearing her words, Emily lowered her eyes to suppress her

emotions.

"I see. You can assign an assistant here,"

Emily said. The agent did leave an assistant to take care of Emily. Recently, Jonas had provided a lot

of assistance, but not all of them went to Emily.

The agent had a good grasp of the production team and its entire operation. She also knew how to let

everyone under her team exert the most effort. She had equally assigned some of the collaboration to

others.

It was one o'clock in the morning when Jonas arrived at the airport. William got up from his bed and

went directly to the airport to pick him up.

"How's her injury?"

"I don't know. We haven't received any news from Miss Bai's studio. The news said that she lost

consciousness. The hospital is currently full of media people and avid fans,"

William replied. He had wanted to get hold of a copy of the video about the incident, but he couldn't find

one. Both the crew and the team were holding back the injury of Emily.

The more they behaved like it was not a big issue, the more anxious the fans became. They were even

exaggerating the bruises, and only a few people knew how serious the injuries were right now.

"How about the company?"

"They were silent, too. Mr. Gu, are you really going to see Miss Bai at this hour?"

William hesitated for a bit. He didn't think it was a good idea. If Nelson knew it next day, he would be

angry.

"Please make an arrangement."

Since Jonas had shown his willingness and stance, William couldn't do anything else. Still, he could

sneak Jonas into the ward.

He knew Jonas well enough. He had arranged everything, but he just wanted to persuade him.

The hospital was bustling even late at night. Many fans were waiting outside, and many paparazzi were

squatting in the parking lot. As soon as the agent's car pulled away, a low-profile vehicle entered the

parking lot.

The tall man dressed in a white lab coat stepped inside the elevator with glasses and mask on. He

stopped at the VIP floor and finally proceeded to Emily's room.

The nurse was just changing the IV fluid for Emily while William waited for Jonas inside the room. He

opened the door and let Jonas in before walking outside.

In pain, Emily was about to scold the nurse when she noticed Jonas.

The nurse looked at Emily in surprise. She groaned inwardly, 'These actors are so good at performing

that they can pretend so quickly.'

"How are you doing?"

Standing three steps away, Jonas studied Emily quietly. She looked pale, and her hands and legs were

in plaster, but it was not as critical as stated on the Internet.

She had no serious internal injuries, disfigurement, or disability.

"It hurts."

The pain on Emily's face was not fictitious. Her injury was not as exaggerated as stated on the Internet,

but it was no laughing matter.

She didn't want to hide it from Jonas and even desired to behave like a spoiled brat. But noticing that

Jonas tried to keep a distance from her deliberately, she was reluctant but helpless.

"How did you get hurt? Didn't they double check the props before filming?"

Jonas asked with a frown. He had funded the TV show and had particularly reminded them to take care

of Emily. Why did Emily still get hurt?

"I'm no longer famous now. The company doesn't worry about me, let alone the crew. They just treat

me casually,"

said Emily, gritting her teeth. Jonas refused to believe it. A crew should take things seriously when it

came to the safety issue, even for an actor doing supporting roles, not to mention for a famous actress,

even if she was a little inactive now.

"I have invested in this TV show, so I've warned them before."

"Jonas, you know that there are many people who violate the rules and act against the practices in the

entertainment circle. My company just put your money into growing some new actors. As for me, who

cares?"

Jonas couldn't tell if Emily's words were reliable or not. But Emily was seriously wounded. He looked at

the medical records at the foot of her bed and found that although she was in plaster, her bones and

muscles were not hurt.

"My company doesn't treat me properly anymore. I can't get security now. I'm not getting any younger.

If I get hurt again and rest for some time, they'll hide me from the public. Jonas, I need your help,"

Emily spoke again. She had always maintained a feeling that Jonas was her supporter. In the

beginning, Jonas did protect her, but since Melinda returned to the Gu's mansion, news of their love

spread like wildfire.

She had received a lot of ridicule and even coldness.
